The present study estimated nitrogen budget of South Korea including nitrogen oxides (NOx) in 2011. Emission sources of NOx were calculated with the higher contributors, such as vehicles, businesses, power plants, based on the IPCC and EPA reports. Moreover, nitrogen budget was separated for city, agriculture livestock and forest. Input and output were chemical fertilizer, crop uptake, fixation, irrigation, compost, leaching, volatilization, imported food, denitrification, runoff, and so on. Annual nitrogen input were 1,692,650 ton/yr and output were 837,739 ton/yr which were increased from 2010 budget. In 2011, NOx emissions by vehicles, power plants, and businesses were 308,207 ton/yr, 601,437 ton/yr, and 469,946 ton/yr, respectively. Including nitrogen oxide, total nitrogen input and output in 2011 was calculated as 5,652,366 ton/yr and 1,425,371 ton/yr, respectively.

본 연구에서는 광양만권 지역을 대상으로 대기 오염물질 발생량을 산정해 보았다. 오염물질의 발생량을 알아보기 위해서는 고정 발생원인 공장지대와 가정의 난방과 취사에 의한 오염물질 배출량을 산정하였고, 이동 배출원에서는 자동차 및 기차 등에서 대기 중으로 배출되는 황산화물, 질소산화물 및 탄화수소류의 양을 산출하였다. VOCs 배출원에서는 비 연소과정에서 배출되어 주로 인간의 일상생활과 밀접한 관계를 갖는 배출원에서 산정하였다.

The effects of an urea injection at the exhaust pipe for a 4-cylinder DI(Direct Injection) diesel engine were investigated with the parameters such as urea-SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) and EGR system. The urea quantity was controlled by NOx quantity and MAF(Manifold Air Flow). The urea injection quantity can be controlled with the urea syringe pump, precisely. The effects of NOx reduction for the urea-SCR system were investigated with and without ECR engine, respectively. It was concluded that the SUF(Stoichiometric Urea Flow) is calculated and the NOx results are visualized with engine speed and load. Furthermore, the NOx map is made from this experimental results. It was suggested, therefore, that NOx reduction effects of the urea-SCR system without the EGR engine were better than that with the EGR engine except of low load and low speed.

각종 산업체의 공정에서 혹은 석탄 혹은 석유를 사용하는 화력발전설비에서 다량 발생되는 질소산화물(NOx), 황산화물(SOx)의 배출규제가 점점 강화되어 감에 따라 배출량 절감이 절실히 요구된다. 기존의 배기가스 정화장치는 처리대상에 따라 다양한 방법들이 사용되는데 황산화물의 경우 습식, 반건식, 건식세정법에 의해, 질소산화물은 선택적 촉매환원법(Selective Catalytic Reduction)과 선택적 무촉매환원법(Selective Non Catalytic Reduction)이 널리 이용되고 있다.(중략)

The effects of an urae injection at the exhaust pipe for a 4-cylinder DI(Direct Injection) diesel engine are investigated experimentally. The urea quantity was controlled by NOx quantity and MAF(Manifold Air Flow). The urea injection must be precisely metered and then I used the urea syringe pump. I have tested 4 kinds of items that were with the EGR base engine and without the EGR engine. Then I tested each urea-SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. As the results, I can caculate the SUF(Stoichiometric Urea Flow) and visualize the NOx results by variation of engine speed and engine load. Also, I can make the NOx map. Therfore, I knew that NOx reduction effects of the urea-SCR system without the EGR engine were better than the with EGR base engine except of low load and low speed.

대류권내에 존재하는 질소산화물(NO$_{y}$ )은 지구대기의 대기화학변화에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. NO$_{x}$는 대류권 하층에서 광화학 과정에 관여하여 탄화수소와 함께 오존(O$_3$)을 포함한 광화학스모그를 발생시키는 역할을 한다. 또한 질소산화물 중 아산화질소($N_2$O)는 매우 안정한 기체로서 NO$_{x}$처럼 대류권내에서 활발한 화학 반응에 관여하지는 않지만, 메탄(CH$_4$), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 오존(O$_3$) 등과 함께 지구온난화에 기여하는 온실기체로서 지구기후변화와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다.

This study tested the effect of de-NOx Facility operating condition on Nox emisiion in a 125 MW wood pellet power plant in Yeongdong Eco Power Plant Unit 1, which is in operation. As SNCR urea flow rate increased, NOx emission gradually decreased, but ammonia slip after SCR increased. The boiler under test has a structure that is unfavorable to SNCR operation due to the high internal temperature, and the optimum location of the nozzle will be required. SCR dilution air temperature change did not affect the amount of NOx generated. Increasing SCR ammonia flow reduced the NOx emission at SCR outlet and also increased the NOx removal efficiency. However, the ammonia flow rate of 111 kg/h, which does not exceed the ammonia slip its own reference limit, is estimated to be the maximum operating standard. The increase in SCR mixer pressure reduced NOx emission and the removal efficiency was also measured to be the most effective variable to inhibit NOx production.

In the area of high traffic volume, such as expressway across large cities, the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant since NOx gases are the major cause of smog and acid rain. Recently, the importance of NOx removal has arisen in the world. Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$), that is one of photocatalytic reaction material, is very efficient for removing NOx. Therefore, application of $TiO_2$ concrete is a good alternative in order to remove NOx which is a main cause of air pollution. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the long-term performance of $TiO_2$ concrete such as NOx removal efficiency due to performance period and environmental resistance for application of road structures. It was found that the $TiO_2$ is reasonable applicable on the road structure because $TiO_2$ concrete has a long-term performance.

SCR(selective catalytic reduction) pilot plant for reduction of the nitrogen oxides using diesel oil as a reductant was installed at the NG(natural gas) fired combined cycle and the activity of Pt(0.3%)/Zeolite catalyst was studied in real flue gas condition according to the amount of reductant. reaction temperature and space velocity. NOx conversion gradually increased with increasing the diesel oil concentration up to C/N ratio 5.5(C/N ratio: the ratio of the number of carbon atom to the number of NOx molecules included in the flue gas). Increasing the reaction temperature. NOx conversion increased and reached a maximum conversion of 50% at $190^{\circ}C$. NOx conversion did not changed with increasing the space velocity up to 18,500/hr and then gradually decreased. These results reveal the potential for diesel oil as a reductant for de-NOx SCR process.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the generation of NOx and CO by adjusting the overfire air supply position and ratio using the boiler that was converted from coal burning to wood pellet boiler. When the amount of the overfire air is relatively increased, the amount of NOx is slightly decreased but CO is sharply decreased when burning at low excess air ratio (1.10) that is due to a small fuel particle size. However, NOx slightly increased when burning at high excess air ratio (1.33) due to the large fuel size, but CO was hardly affected. Also, When the amount of overfire air was same, The more supply position was concentrated to upper portion of the main combustor, the more NOx and CO was lowered. And in case of the excess air ratio was high, the generation of NOx and CO I can see that it keeps the level irrelevant to the amount of air for the second stage combustion.
